TB anywhere is TB everywhere. Join us to know the challenges people with TB continue to face in accessing the TB treatment in EU and EEA region. #TBSky #IDSky

🚨 We demand urgent action: Expand the $40 lenacapavir price to all LMICs, not just those chosen by Gilead. Use TRIPS flexibilities, support local generics, & fund universal, not selective, access. makemedicinesaffordable.org/no-borders-n... #MakeMedicinesAffordable

What do we talk about when we talk about ... conditionalities? "in 2021, Sanofi received $415 million in federal funds to build a flu vaccine–manufacturing plant in Canada. This deal could perhaps have included a requirement to apply for approval of rifapentine with Health Canada."

Impressive panel assembled by @msfaccess.org for this upcoming virtual event on "Bridging the gap: Securing access to essential TB medicines in the EU and EEA" ⚖️💊 Registration: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #MSF report on the topic: msfaccess.org/bridging-gap...

This week’s announcement set the price of lenacapavir at the level of oral PrEP. This is a major step forward for HIV prevention. 🌍💊 But there’s a big problem: Gilead is restricting access by limiting its license to certain countries.

✊Activists demand Gilead drop barriers to $40/year lenacapavir, a 6-monthly HIV prevention shot. Blocking access in 26 countries with rising HIV rates is unacceptable. PrEP must be affordable & available to all. makemedicinesaffordable.org/activists-de... #MakeMedicinesAffordable

Justo ayer, mientras ocurría esto 👇, en Tenerife tenía lugar un espacio trabajo sobre la política migratoria y la equidad en salud con @javierpadillab.bsky.social , @pgullon.bsky.social @mbabeenchama.bsky.social y muchas más. Entre otras muchas cosas, hablamos sobre el síndrome de deportabilidad /1

Organizamos con Fundación FÜNDEC: “Política Migratoria y Equidad en Salud”, para analizar cómo las políticas migratorias generan desigualdades en salud @jaimemanzano.bsky.social presentará nuestro informe 'La política migratoria en la UE como crisis de salud global' www.eldiario.es/canariasahor...

I would say that for TB a2m is a bit more complicated than that, as the last MSF excellent report has highlighted. In Spain, for instance, you cannot access the BPaL regime through the regular pathway, as pretonamid is not commercialized. Same goes for rifapentine. /1 msfaccess.org/bridging-gap...

Esto es lo que nos haría felices que propusiera Pedro Sánchez mañana en su comparecencia para dar cuenta de los últimos casos de corrupción (aunque no nos hacemos ilusiones). Aquí van 10 propuestas de Civio para empezar a atajar la corrupción en serio y que llevamos años reclamando. 🧵👇

Oh, perhaps they missed the resolutions, compendiums or calls for evidence by HRC over the past years addressing the IP issues... (A/HRC/RES/50/13???) 🫠

While countries in EU and EEA consider tuberculosis as a forgotten disease, number of people having TB and its resistant forms are rising. Amid clear lack of focus of health programs on this deadly infection, access to TB medication remains a challenge. MSF outline recommendations to bridge the gap

Important new @msfaccess.org report highlights how even EU countries lack appropriate access to #tuberculosis medicines💊. "Bridging the gap: Securing access to essential #TB medicines in the EU and EEA" msfaccess.org/bridging-gap... (other high-income countries like Canada face similar challenges)

Ministerios, comunidades autónomas y ayuntamientos que, ante una orden clara de entregar información, responden con... NADA. El ninguneo se ha convertido en deporte nacional. Más de un millar de resoluciones del Consejo de Transparencia han acabado en el cajón del olvido, desde 2016.

Interesting stuff. In parallel, there was this drug security meeting in St. Petersburg where one point of discussion was how to accelerate access to innovative drugs in BRICS countries www.bricscompetition.org/ournews/drug...

El gran problema de la transparencia en España que tiene un impacto directo en la calidad democrática, la rendición de cuentas por parte de la Administración, la rendición de cuentas corporativa y con impactos a la población dentro y fuera de nuestras fronteras. Enhorabuena @civio.es por todo esto!

“Bourla said he was hopeful that, given U.S. pressure on European countries to pay more, prices there could increase. “…if the U.S. resorts to price controls, Pfizer could consider not making drugs available for reimbursement in some countries if prices don't increase there.”

Bastante guay esto que GHF nos ha publicado a @jaimemanzano.bsky.social y a mi sobre los análisis del tamaño de las delegaciones y las dinámicas de poder en la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud

🌍Transparency in the pharmaceutical sector is not only a matter of democratic accountability — it’s a global health imperative. 📅Join us on June 12th for an online event exploring how civil society is advancing pharmaceutical transparency with cases from South Africa, Colombia, and Spain

🌍 Who connects the dots in global health governance at #WHA78? Dozens of side events in Geneva brought together states, UN agencies, philanthropies, activists, and others. But who served as the bridges across all that noise? Here’s a visual story. 👇 🧵1/ #GlobalHealth #WHA78 #IDsky 💊🌐

✊💊Victory for access to medicines in Thailand! 🇹🇭 Civil society has defeated J&J's evergreening patents on Bedaquiline, opening the door to affordable MDR-TB treatment. A global precedent in the fight for health equity. makemedicinesaffordable.org/evergreening... #MakeMedicinesAffordable

🚨👀💊In exciting, if overdue, news... a submission has been made to Health Canada for approval of #rifapentine (an #EssentialMedicine for #tuberculosis).

Aquí la verdadera razón de por la que se busca la confidencialidad en los procesos de negociación: para obtener más beneficios aprovechando la asimetría de información (y de poder)

Maravilloso. Solo añadiría un componente que no se suele explorar lo suficiente en España en lo relativo a la universalidad: es un elemento necesario de justicia restaurativa racial.

🔹 Before WHA78, China’s voluntary funding amounted to just 17 cents for every dollar of its assessed contribution — a modest 0.17 to 1 ratio. 🔹 After WHA78, that ratio surged to 4.5 to 1 — China now gives over four times its obligatory contribution. A visualization on the latest pledges 👇

The resolution in support of adopting the treaty went to a vote at the request of Slovakia. It’s a show of hands after confirming quorum. It passed. No refusals. Just a handful of abstentions. Next step is plenary tomorrow.

TRIPS flexibilities are a critical, legitimate, and legal tool for ensuring access to medicines. It should be noted that countries of all income levels have used or considered using them, not just the World Majority. /1
